Egyptian riders Nayel Nassar, and Mohamed Taher Zeyada qualified for the final round of inpidual equestrian competitions on Tuesday.

Nassar succeeded in crossing all horse barriers without making any mistakes, in addition, he made an excellent balance during the competition to come in the first position.

He also received worldwide attention as he was supported by his fiance, Jenniffer Gates, and her father Bill Gates.

Gates posted on Instagram two days ago, saying: "I’m rooting for lots of the athletes in Tokyo right now—but none more than my soon-to-be son-in-law.”

Nassar is participating in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic games alongside three other riders: Abdel Qader Said, Sameh Al Dahan, and Mohamed Taher Zeyada.

Zeyada also succeeded to qualify for the final round at the same competition after making only one penalty point.
